Greetings! Been lurking here for several years...Cruiser envy...something like that. Finally acquired my own rig in late November- she's a 1994 with factory lockers and that super rare forest green paint. Pulled the trigger on this one, in part, due to the super clean interior and the paint being in such great shape (compared to many other rigs I've seen out west). Immediately took her in for much needed maintenance (new front brakes, change all fluids, etc. plus install a lift and new tires, and then drove across country (hitting a couple ski areas in Utah and Colorado) to Cincinnati to start my new job (my 94 Toyota PU is still in San Diego waiting patiently for its turn for a cross-country run). Also "lost" the running boards and third row seats.

1. 1994
2. David
3. N/A
4. 185k (at time of purchase)
5. Currently just an OME 2.5" lift + Bilstein shocks. Future: Cupholders, sliders, tailgate storage mod, rear bumper...

Another '94! And you're sitting at a gas station. I've found that any trip requires stops at quite a few of those.

And you're sitting at a gas station. I've found that any trip requires stops at quite a few of those.

At least gas prices dropped after crossing the Kalifornia border.

Nice truck. I have the LX450. You said you have the BF Goodrich all-terrain KO2's. What size are they. I've been looking for some all-terrains to give my truck the height of yours in the picture

The ones pictured were 265/75/16 (31.6"), I've since moved to 285/75/16 after my OME lift

OK, I figured out my Rigs name:

BEAST MODE

It feels appropriate after driving a Mazda Miata for the last 6 years.

 

[DLukeW]

thanks!

I think I lucked out because the wheels and tires came with my cruiser.

I think I lucked out because the wheels and tires came with my cruiser.

The wheels are Pacer 15x10 and tires are Mud Claw (extreme traction) Radial MT 35x12.5. I am not sure of the exact model of the rims.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and the Toyota family. I've been driving an Isuzu Trooper for years and am ready and have wised up enough to do the right thing (purchase a Toyota). I am currently shopping for my first 80 around the country as I want to find a great one. I'll be looking for some possible help from my fellow Toyota enthusiasts to inspect some where they are just to far outta reach. Hopefully my next post will be of my recently purchased Toy.

Good advice. I do need some help looking at one in Carmel CA. What's the best way to find someone near by that could look at it so I don't waste a flight out there?
